Black voters, 63%, plan to support Harris, compared with 13% for Trump,
according to the new NAACP survey, which interviewed 1,000 registered
Black voters across the U.S. from Aug. 6 to Aug. 12.
Fifty-one percent of Black voters said they would cast their ballots
for Harris if the election were held today. Only 27 percent said the
same of former President Trump.

Pope Francis meddles in US election, says choose the lesser evil between Trump and Harris but can't say which is which
It's really amusing how the pope says everyone has to think and decide for themselves about such a weighty matter, but when Luther did it he was excommunicated for it.
Between 1972 and 2008, the percentage NOT voting in US elections averaged 47%.
“Not voting is ugly,” the 87-year-old pontiff said. “It is not good. You must vote.”
“You must choose the lesser evil,” he said. “Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, (has to) think and do this.”
American Catholics, numbering roughly 52 million nationwide, are often seen as crucial swing voters. In some battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, more than 20% of adults are Catholic. ...
“Whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants, or the one who that kills children,” said the pope. “Both are against life.”

The pope made the remarks on a flight returning to the safety of his walled-off city-state, population 764, after a visit to Singapore.
